Before shifting, make sure that no
swimmer(s) or obstacle(s) is ahead or
astern of the boat.

make sure that boat is properly moored
and outboard motor can be steered
fully to the right and left. Make sure

Attach other end of emergency
stop switch tether to the operator's
clothing or arm and keep it attached
during cruising.

Do not attach the tether to a part of
clothing that can be torn easily when
pulled.

caught by any object when pulled.

Be careful not to pull the tether
accidentally during cruising.
Unintentional stop of engine can
cause loss of control of outboard

power can lead to falling down or
causing passenger(s) to be thrown
overboard.

clothing.

switch lock becomes disconnected
from the engine.
Severe damage, and personal injury,
may occur if shifting at high engine
